COLLEGE STATION, Texas - The father of a Texas A&M junior from Sugar Land who died of bacterial meningitis says he plans to push the Legislature to require that all students at Texas universities be vaccinated against the fast-moving infection.
Nicolis "Nico" Williams, a 20-year-old economics major, complained about flulike symptoms on Monday. He was taken to the hospital on Tuesday, and he died Friday.
State law that requires the meningococcal vaccine for first-time, on-campus college students did not apply to Williams because he lived off-campus.
Greg Williams, an administrator at Texas Southern University, praised the staff at College Station Medical Center and said he could see why his son loved being at A&M.
"No parent should have to go through what we're currently going through and no children should have to die," Williams told the Houston Chronicle by phone late Friday.
